Hygge What?

If the publishing trends are correct, we, in the US, will finally get to hygge in 2017. What is hygge and more importantly, how do you pronounce it? Well, it's a Danish word pronounced hoo-ga (or hue-ga), that can mean many things but mostly it refers to finding comfort in simple things; the feeling of being cozy; like relaxing with a cup of tea or lighting candles around the house.

You will get a better idea when you read these book titles:

art of living well

escaping the hustle and bustle

contentment and comfort

art of happiness

secrets to happy living

rediscover joy of simple things

cozy and simple living; simple pleasures

Or as suggested in Brigid Schulte's Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time:
"And that was it, she realized, the key to Danish happiness. Hygge. The moment. When you're riding Icelandic ponies, ride Icelandic ponies. When you're drinking a cup of tea, drink a cup of tea....the small, simple things that make life lovely."
